Deep fears watch silently while words rise to surface.

Therapist's decor choices really raising the anxiety bar.

Seven arms contact the floor. One does not.

Sunken face, six chairs, cart umbrella, two coffee cups, newspaper.

Even the sun showed up with cartoon enthusiasm.

Tickle me Stalin

Between white coat and bristled bulk, patience weighs heavy.

Nobody questions the enormous gastropod's library card.

Even kings, it turns out, need someone to talk to.

Detached party rejoins meeting late, without prior notice filed.

Hose, scales, buckles, clock, diagrams, stool, window, coats.

Filed under quarterly reviews, department unresponsive since immersion.

Man, briefcase, coat, platform tiles, shell, two eyestalks, sign.

Flagged. Forward to Verification -- see standing Protocol 7-G.

Strange souls gather where judgment quietly waits.

Wild thunder, caged beside a sleeping afternoon.
